Stinger.......2007-07-30
TNA did a great job on this dvd. Sting is a great wrestler and I recently started to watch him more. I own a few WWE dvds with a couple of his matches and they are always fun to watch. He has a few good matches in TNA, so this is a good set for now. If Sting left TNA, he probably wouldnt end up in WWE. It would be nice, like most all other reviewers say, to have a complete career span of his matches and promos. This is a bit rushed but still a good set for now.
Good stuff.......2007-02-23
-The man called Sting, one of the greatest stars of wrestling in the late `80's, `90's and into `01 on the final WCW Nitro telecast. Loved this DVD, though more could be done if and when WWE and Sting come to an agreement in the future to show a truly comprehensive DVD set on Sting's career, since Vince owns pretty much all of the footage of Sting's career.
-The DVD is divided into two parts: Sting's return to TNA in `06 and his own words on his career.
-The return portion starts out with a voiceover describing how Sting was a great catalyst for the wrestling boom in the `90's and how he quietly left wrestling after WCW closed down.
-Then goes to Turning Point `05, when Rhino lost to Jeff Jarrett and then scorpion graphics hit the screen to a huge pop from the crowd. We then see the trench coat and baseball bat of Sting on a chair in the middle of the ring.
-Next the announcement from Mike Tenay that Sting is joining TNA wrestling.
-The rest of the return program is Sting's matches and footage, from his return at Final Resolution '06 to Victory Road `06.
-Final Resolution: Sting & Christian Cage vs. Jeff Jarrett & Monty Brown: Sting's return got a huge and I mean huge pop from the crowd. The tag match itself is pretty basic, but a lot more fun because the crowd was so into it. Good offense showing from Sting, a shoulder block, a leapfrog, hip toss and a dropkick all on Jarrett. Crowd chants "You've still got it" after this display. There was a nice hurricarana by Gail Kim onto Cage on the outside. After a while Sting gets the tag, nice offense from Sting on both men, then locks in the Scorpion Death Lock on Jarrett. The finish sees Jarrett get his guitar, but it's smashed by Sting's baseball bat. Sting hits the Scorpion Death Drop on Jarrett for the win in about 15 minutes. Loved the post match stuff with Sting & Cage. 8/10.
-Impact after Final Resolution, Sting announces he's leaving, he's proven he could still wrestle. He thanked the fans and left much to the dismay of the fans and fellow wrestlers.
-Then we see Alex Shelley's footage of Sting's family, that leads to his return at Destination X. Interview footage with Sting saying he's coming to Lockdown with his army so Jarrett better be ready.
-Impact-4/13/06-Sting vs. Eric Young: Good match, Sting even hit's a cross body block over the top rope on Young, Shelley and Coach D'Amore. Young dominates for a bit, after Sting misses a Stinger splash on the outside, hitting the guardrail chest first. Sting fights back and the finish comes when Sting hit's the Scorpion Death Drop on Young for the win, in about 8 minutes, including the commercial break. 6/10.
-Lockdown: Sting's Army (Sting, AJ Styles, Rhino and Ron "The Truth" Killings") vs. Jarrett's Army (Jarrett, America's Most Wanted and Scott Steiner): Joined in progress just about a minute before Sting enters the cage. Weapons come into play as the roof on the cage is lowered. Nice spot with AJ doing a sick splash off of some scaffolding on the ceiling, onto James Storm. Sting makes Chris Harris tap out to the Scorpion Death Lock shortly after. Just about 10 minutes of match time. 7/10, for what I saw of the match.
-Sacrifice: Sting & Samoa Joe vs. Jeff Jarrett & Scott Steiner: About what you'd expect, especially from older stars like Steiner and Sting, a decent match overall. Nice diving clothesline from Sting onto both Steiner and Jarrett. The match was a lot better once both Steiner and Joe faced off, as it was a great display of power, by both. Steiner did look pretty sloppy and tired, when he wasn't executing suplexes on Joe. Nice splash by Sting onto the outside on Steiner. Joe battles with Jarrett for a bit and hits the muscle buster for the win in about 14 minutes. 8/10. Loved the post match stuff where Joe shook Sting's hand after a bit, but wouldn't come to his aid as Steiner & Jarrett, beat up Sting.
-Impact-6/8/06-Sting vs. Scott Steiner: Fairly quick one, very slow especially from Steiner. Nice crossface submission hold by Steiner though and he does hit some good suplexes. Jarrett causes a DQ finish when he stops Sting from pinning Steiner. About 12 minutes including the commercial break.
-Impact-7/6/06: Sting & Christian vs. Jeff Jarrett & Scott Steiner: Decent tag match, Cage and Sting work well together. Some brawling and basic offense from all four men. Cage hit's a frogsplash on Jarrett and Sting makes the cover for the win in about 11 minutes including the commercial break. 6/10. Nice post match brawling from all four men afterwards.
-Victory Road: Road to Victory 4-Way: Sting vs. Christian Cage vs. Scott Steiner vs. Samoa Joe: Good four way match, liked the offensive exchanges between Cage and Joe. Jarrett comes in a sprays some gas in Sting's eyes, Sting leaves the arena running. The match continues, there's nice spot where Steiner hits an elbow drop on Joe through a table on the outside. Joe has the Kokina clutch on Steiner then goes after Cage, when Sting returns to the ring after about 10 minutes of being away. Sting hits the Scorpion Death Drop on Steiner for the win in about 15 minutes.
-Sting's Career: Good interview segment.
-He describes his childhood, how he played sports, his start in wrestling, especially how he at first had no interest in wrestling. His wrestling career is shown through a few pictures provided by outside sources and told by the man himself. Great stories by Sting on his character change and others things, like how he became born again Christian during his final few years in WCW. Loved how he talked about he almost went to WWF, but couldn't after he saw how WCW wrestlers were used. Good storytelling by Sting, quite touching sometimes.
-The extras include:
-A music video showing highlights of his comeback up to Victory Road in July. Good music too.
-Sting: Word Association on his peers: Great segment, where he states his opinions on various wrestles, including, Ric Flair, Kevin Nash, Jeff Jarrett, Lex Luger and others.
-TNA stars look back on their favorite Sting moments: David Young, Elix Skipper, Sonjay Dutt and others talk about their most memorable moments from Sting's career. Good overall segment.
-Moment of Truth: Sting talks about his born-again Christian movie, "Moment of Truth". Good segment, with some footage of the film included.
-The face paint: Talks about the look of his paint and how he gets pumped up for the match.
-A match is next from Sting's short lived return to TNA in June of '03, where he made about four appearances for the company, when TNA was just doing weekly PPV's.
-Jeff Jarrett & Sting vs. AJ Styles & Sean Waltman: Good tag match, very well done. Liked AJ here as a heel, his does a great springboard leg drop of the top rope onto Jarrett. Run-ins by Vince Russo, Shane Douglas and Raven lead to the finish where Jarrett hit's a second rope stroke on AJ for the pin in about 12 minutes. Great post match as Jarrett and Sting go nuts on Russo and AJ with the bat. 8/10.
-Photos: A photo gallery of Sting is next, good shots.
Overall this is a great DVD, wish the documentary could've had footage from Sting's career, but it was fine for what they had to work with.
WWWE COME ON VINCE .......2007-01-19
COME ON VINCE WHEN ARE WE GONNA BE ABLE TO SEE THIS MANS CAREER AT ITS HEIGHT WITH THE WOLFPAC YOU OWE ALL US FANS VINCE THE WWWE WOULD NOT BE WHERE IT IS TODAY WITHOUT THE FANS ISNT IT TIME YA GAVE US SOMETHING BACK
PLEASE VINCE GIVE US WHAT WE ALL WANT STINGS CAREER A RETROSPECTIVE OF HIS CAREER FROM WCW
There's Sting, and then there's everybody else........2006-12-16
In a business with numerous claimants to the title of Icon, Sting stands out as one of the more under-appreciated candidates. Sting, above all others in the world of professional wrestling, maintained a rare sense of respectability and dignity.
Back in 2001, when Vince McMahon purchased World Championship Wrestling, Sting decided to finish his 16-year wrestling career and come to terms with his retirement from the industry he loved so much. His newfound faith in the Lord would carry him onto the next phase of his life. A year and a half later, Sting crept back into the world of pro-wrestling with sporadic appearances with an international promotion known as World Wrestling All-Stars; by the middle of 2003, he was appearing in the upstart NWA: Total Nonstop Action, as a favor to the man who gave him his first big break, Jerry Jarrett. As the first big name to give TNA his endorsement, Sting lent a much needed atmosphere of legitimacy which undoubtedly helped TNA grow by leaps and bounds. After a brief hiatus, Sting returned with much fanfare at the beginning of 2006 with a new passion for his life, his career, and most importantly, for the growth of TNA.
This DVD was produced by TNA Entertainment and is appropriately divided into two parts; 1) The Return, and 2) The Career. "The Return" portion chronicles the first eight months of Sting's big return to pro-wrestling, and helping to catapult TNA to bigger and better things. With a runtime of about 4-hours, this DVD features most of Sting's matches on TNA iMPACT and Pay-Pew-View complete and unedited. Including Sting & Christian Cage vs. Jeff Jarrett & Monty Brown, Sting's farewell speech, Sting vs. Eric Young, Sting's Army vs. Jarrett's Army in Lethal Lockdown, Sting & Samoa Joe vs. Jeff Jarrett & Scott Steiner, Sting vs. Scott Steiner, Sting & Christian Cage vs. Jeff Jarrett & Scott Steiner, and Sting vs. Christian Cage vs. Jeff Jarrett vs. Scott Steiner in the Road to Victory 4-Way Ladder match, plus a whole bunch of extra stuff in between to glue it all together.
"The Career" segment includes candid interviews with Steve Bordon talking about his professional career as Sting and his private life as a husband and father. Bordon shows off his collection of ring jacket that paint a vivid picture of the heights that the famed wrestler has achieved. On top of all of this, there is a section of bonus material including a Sting Music Video, Sting playing the "Name Association" game, TNA wrestlers talking about Sting, a plug for the Sting: Moment of Truth movie, Sting demonstrates his face-paint techniques, Sting's first TNA match back at the First Anniversary Show (Sting and Jeff Jarrett vs AJ Styles and Sean Waltman) and a lengthy picture gallery set to music.
The footprints that Sting has left behind him, tell an inspirational story, much of which can be experienced in the movie Sting: Moment of Truth. However, TNA's "Sting: Return of an Icon" is more oriented to the wrestling audience, and fans of Sting can experience the breathtaking story of one of wrestling's top performers in the last twenty years. This was an intense four hour tribute to a man that is incredibly well respected among his friends, his family, his peers, and especially his fans.
What a great way for Sting to go out........2006-11-24
I have to say first off that Sting is my favorite wrestler of all-time so I will have a bias. I will try to be honest though. I was disappointed that none of his NWA/WCW matches are used here on this tape. However that being said his tna wrestling matches are not gutter trash. He wrestles pretty darn good for a man in his forties. Hogan was not this good. They also have a good biography. The extras were good considering they could only use TNA Wrestling footage. If you are a Sting or TNA Wrestling fan I would buy it.

Volume 2 brings back more matches about the X Division.......2007-07-03
TNA's X Division has a lot of wrestlers that show size does not matter. Though I am a big fam of Samoa Joe, Aj Styles, and Christopher Daniels I couldnt wait to see others shine such as petey williams, sonjay dutt, chris sabin, and others. This is one dvd set you need to own. Here are the matches...
X Division Champion Christopher Daniels vs. Samoa Joe - This was the match that started right after a UFC show ended so people would stay tuned and watch the match, a good match. 8/10
Chris Sabin vs. Petey Williams vs. Alex Shelley - Another great match between these three underused wrestlers in TNA in my opinion. A good match 9/10
Christopher Daniels vs. Matt Bentley vs. Austin Aries - These three put on a high flying match that showed just what they could do when they went against each other. This was another Impact match. 9/10
A.J. Styles vs. Chris Sabin - Yet another impact match that showed what two of my favorite wrestlers can put on. Probably could have used more time but still good. 8/10
Chris Sabin vs. Petey Williams vs. Austin Aries vs. Alex Shelley - It seems like every match thats on this set is on impact. Too short of a match and another high flying back and forth battle. 7/10
A.J. Styles vs. Jay Lethal - Jay Lethal should have been X Divisin champion a long time before he won it. Nevertheless he proves he can tangle with the best of them in this great short match. 8/10
Other matches include:
Chris Sabin vs. Alex Shelley vs. Sonjay Dutt
Destination X: Chris Sabin vs. Sonjay Dutt vs. Petey Williams vs. Puma
Lockdown: Ultimate Xscape Match - Chris Sabin vs. Chase Stevens vs. Shark Boy vs. Petey Williams vs. Elix Skipper vs. Puma
Alex Shelley & Sonjay Dutt (Team USA) vs. Goto & Tanaka (Team Japan)
Jay Lethal vs. Shark Boy vs. Senshi vs. Alex Shelley
Sonjay Dutt vs. Jay Lethal vs. Shark Boy vs. Senshi vs. Petey Williams vs. Alex Shelley
X Division Champion Samoa Joe vs. Senshi vs. Sonjay Dutt
Hard Justice: X Division Champion Senshi vs. Jay Lethal vs. Petey Williams
Chris Sabin, Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt vs. Alex Shelley, Johnny Devine, Petey Williams
This is a good set, the first volume of the X Division is a little better than the second but this is still highly recommended...
never order from amazon.......2007-05-29
i never received the order .your service is bad i will never order anything from amazon in future
Volume 1 is way better...........2007-04-26
Maybe i'm just saying this because I am a big AJ Styles fan and he was featured more prominently on Vol. 1. AJ was only in 1 match i believe. Even said that, I love seeing Petey Williams as he is in a lot of matches on this disk. My favorite is the Lockdown Xscape match. Get both, but Vol. 1 is better
good but not great.......2006-12-15
its good but just to many short matches from impact they should've waited a little while for more pay per view matches. anyways still worth a look.
I loved the wcw cruiserweight action and this turns up the volume........2006-11-24
What a great disk. It has a bunch of matches from TNA Impact so you are not buying matches already on PPV DVD's. I wish WWE would get their in ring action this good. I like WWE and I really do not care which promotion it is. I just like good wrestling. This disk does just that. Very entertaining, Just like the Match from Supercard of Honor(Ring of Honor Promotion) which has the best ever cruiserweight match I have ever seen to this point. This disk is very close to doing that. If you are just into heavyweights or wwe style this may not be for you. If you like good wrestling I would highly recommend it.

WCW Lives!.......2007-06-22
TNA is a great company for fans who long for the era of WCW VS WWE. Too bad TNA is turning out to be WCW circa 2000. Its a funny trend to have big names come in and win the belt within a few months: Christian Cage, Sting, and now Kurt Angle. Do you sign a deal with TNA and automatically get the world title? RVD is soon to join the ranks of TNA. I do think its a good move. RVD vs AJ Styles? Sting? Samoa Joe? The Fallen Angel? Senshi? The matches are endless if they choose to play there cards right. WWE is in a rut and people are getting sick of the company. TNA should take over as the #1 company but has yet to do it. Everyone claims to hate ECW but it gets the same ratings as TNA on Thrusday. TNA should grow more talent like Styles, Samoa Joe, and Fallen Angel instead of stars like Tomoko, Basham, The Steiners, Dudleys, Road Warrior Animal, Angle, Sting, etc.
Disappointed.......2007-01-10
I was very disappointed with the DVD. I don't like seeing just small clips of matches. I like to see what leads up to the greatest moments not just bits and pieces. Had I seen this DVD first, I never would have bought it. Definitely not TNA quality!
The best wrestling DVD of 2006.......2007-01-04
This is no doubt the best wrestling DVD of 2006. TNA owns all other wrestling companies especially WWE and this is a great example of why. I have been a TNA fan since day one and I loved watching this and going over all the great memories I have about the promotion. I highly reccomend this DVD to anyone weather it be a new TNA fan or a long time one I know you will enjoy this.
A good history lesson for newer fans..........2006-12-25
-Like the title says, this is a good DVD for fans who are either just getting into TNA wrestling or started watching it when it debuted on FSN in 06/04 or those that bought the weekly PPV's from the beginning. I'm option 2 and I like the fact that this DVD shows some of the moments from the weekly PPV's.
The list of the moments are as follows and include comments from various wrestlers:
#50-Roddy Piper humiliates Chris Rose: From the FSN days, TNA cross promoted with "The Best Damn Sports Show Period" for a two-hour show, that was lukewarm at best and this moment was the most lukewarm of them all. Not that Piper didn't try, but it was not neccesary to put on the list.
-Chris Rock comes to the TNA Asylum: Rock filming a scene for "Head of State" and made an appearance on the PPV. Not a bad promo cut by Rock.
-The Debut of Diamond Dallas Page: DDP makes his TNA debut, his tenure only lasted about 6 months. Loved the comments from Raven.
-Jeff Jarrett brawls with the Tennessee Titans: A few players from the football team are in the front row and start attacking Jarrett, before some wrestlers come to back up Jarrett. Good segment.
-Jim Cornette joins TNA: Shows highlights of Cornette's debut at Slammiversary '06. Nice promo clips of Jim E. ripping WWE the way only he can.
#45-The Gore from Hell: Rhyno gores Abyss through a metal walls in the Impact Zone. Loved the comments from James Mitchell, creepy voice that man has.
-The Return of Senshi: Senshi returns at Lockdown '06 to face his former Triple X partner. Nice highlights of the match.
-The Road Warriors come to TNA: The debut of the Road Warriors in November of '02. Pretty loud pop when they came out, nice moves by both men.
-Joe vs. Liger: Highlights of the Bound For Glory '05 match between the two men. Good segment.
-The Team 3D Funeral: Funny segment with America's Most Wanted, Team Canada, James Mitchell, Abyss, Gail Kim and Jeff Jarrett, holding a mock funeral of Team 3D.
#40-Toby Keith Eliminates Jeff Jarrett: Starts with Keith performing his "Angry American" song, Jarrett interupts it. Then during the battle royal Keith comes in, suplexes Jarrett and eliminates him from the match.
-Team NWA wins the World X Cup: Good highlights of the finals of the World X Cup, an Ultimate X match basically.
-The Fire at Hard Justice '06-A fire breaks out during the PPV, TNA kept the fans going on the outside while the smoke clears, then manages to put on a good PPV.
-Raven's bloody scalping-James Mitchell scalps Raven, even digging the clippers into Raven's skull. Pretty brutal stuff and I loved Mitchell's comments about Raven himself.
-Rhyno debuts at No Surrender: Raven gets gored by Rhyno after winning a Dog Collar Match against Abyss.
#35-The Debut of Team 3D-On the first Impact on Spike T.V., Team 3D attacks Jarrett, AMW and Team Canada in their debut. Major league pop for the debut.
-Samoa Joe wins the X-Division Championship: Highlights from his match vs. AJ Styles at Turning Point '05. Pretty brutal and cool moves by Joe
and AJ.
-Abyss invades Christian Cage's home: Good home video segment of Abyss attacking Cage all over his house.
-The First TNA Cage Match: Highlights of AMW vs. Triple X's brutal match. Some bloody footage follows.
-Ken Shamrock wins the first TNA Era NWA Championship: Clips of Shamrock winning his first wrestling world title. Good moves by Shamrock.
#30-Cookiegate: Shane Douglas, Abyss and Tracy from TNA comes to visit WWE, while they were filming a commercial for Royal Rumble '05. Pretty silly stuff here, but the TNA peeps seemed to be having fun, they filmed some WWE wrestlers but had to blur out the faces.
-The Truth wins the NWA Championship: Clips of the Truth's victory over Shamrock, nice that he won a world title.
-Controversy in Canada: Happened at a house show in Canada. Jeff Jarrett conspired with AMW and Team Canada coach Scott D'Amore to screw Raven out of the NWA title. Thus Jarrett becomes the new NWA champion. Cool segment.
-Jeff Hardy's Insane Leap at Bound For Glory '05: During the Monster's Ball match, Hardy takes a leap off of the top of the stage onto Abyss. Crazy move, huge pop for it.
-Brian Urlacher comes to TNA: The Chicago Bears linebacker shows a few moves in the ring even press slamming "Survivor's" Johnny Fairplay out of the ring onto some security. Cool stuff.
#25-Victory Road '04-TNA's first three-hour Sunday PPV. Highlights of the show and good ones.
-Scott Steiner's debut at Destination X: Pretty shocking debut, followed by a not so shocking sloppy showing of moves by Steiner on Sting or Steve Borden or whatever.
-Lockdown '05-The first all steel cage PPV with great highlights. Loved Mitchell's comments.
-Basebrawl: Honoring members of the World Series Champions Chicago White Sox and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Pretty silly segment except for Heenan, though the comments by Simon Diamond to AJ (of the White Sox) were funny and cool.
-Rhyno wins the NWA world title at Bound for Glory '05: Rhyno wins the Monster's Ball, a 10-man gautlet, then beats Jarrett for the title.
#20-Raven debuts at steals the NWA Title: Raven debuts and attacks Jarrett after he retains the title and steals the belt. Loved the "McMahon Fears Raven" sign a fan had near the entrance way.
-Nash, Hall and Savage debut in TNA: Could've been put together with the Victory Road '04 highlights, that's all I've got to say. Nice debut by all three though.
-The first six sides of steel cage match: Pretty cool and brutal stuff here, between AMW and The Naturals. Bloody shots of all four men follow.
-Jeff Jarrett becomes the King of the Mountain: Cool highlights from the very first "KOTM" match.
-Raven fufills his destiny: Raven wins the NWA title at Slammiversary '05, cool stuff.
#15-The first Ultimate X Match: Nice early highlights from TNA, cool moves from Matt Bentley, Kazarian and Chris Sabin. Man Bentley was bleeding bad.
-Alex Shelley films Sting: Home video footage of Shelley around Sting's home, then Sting confronts Shelley later in the highlight package.
-AJ Styles becomes the first X-Division Champion: Highlights from the first X-Division Title match. Great moves by Jerry Lynn, Low Ki (Senshi) and AJ.
-The Debut of Jeff Hardy: Hardy in a shocking debut against AJ, good highlights follow. Good pop for the debut too.
-TNA's first ever PPV: Nice highlights, though these could've been including with the Shamrock and Keith highlights, or vice versa.
#10-Chris Candido leads the Naturals to the NWA tag team titles: Great segment, touching and moving. Loved the comments by various wrestlers and sharing their favorite Candido moments.
-Christian Cage becomes the NWA Champion: Great highlights of Cage's victory over Jarrett, Cage even powerbombs Gail Kim as she leaps from the top rope.
-Barbed Wire Massacre: Bloody highlights of Abyss and Sabu shredding each other with many uses of the barb wire ropes and weapons wrapped in barb wire.
-AJ Styles ends Jarretts World Title Reign: AJ beats Jarrett in a great match at Hard Justice, which ended Jarrett's nearly year long title reign.
-AMW vs. Triple X: Six Sides of Steel: Great highlights of the famous cage match from Turning Point '04. Sick moves by all four men, but especially Elix Skipper's stunning (and I mean stunning) hurricarana, from the top of the cage, he tight rope walked the top of the cage, what a great and shocking move.
#5-Christian Cage debuts: Cage's debut at Genesis '05, huge pop from the crowd. Also shows highlights from the whole night, including his alignment with Team 3D and Rhyno.
-The Unbreakable three-way: Highlights from the greatest three-way match I've seen in a long time, between AJ Styles vs. Christopher Daniels vs. Samoa Joe. Just watch and enjoy it and see the match if you haven't already.
-Jeff Jarrett attacks Hulk Hogan: Ho-hum segment where Hogan gets attacked by Jarrett in Japan. Actually not too bad, just didn't need to be this high on the list.
-Sting Returns to Wrestling: Sting's return at Final Resolution '06, huge pop from the crowd when he first came out. Highlights of the tag match follow.
#1-TNA debuts on Spike T.V.-Guess this one makes sense, actually thought their first PPV ever would've been number 1, but oh well.
-I do think they could have lumped a couple of moments together, (i.e. Nash/Hall/Savage debuts & Victory Road '04 and Toby Keith & TNA's first weekly PPV). But I thought the selection of moments was good, the placement was another story. Some should have been higher, other should have been lower, others shouldn't have been on (i.e. Roddy Piper/Chris Rose) and I feel that the fire at Hard Justice '06 should have been discussed just a little more.
-My favorite moment was the Chris Candido Tribute, this was giving a good amount of time and had heart felt comments from Shane Douglas, Simon Diamond and The Naturals. There are many more moments but that one is the best in my opinion.
-Overall this is a good purchase, worth at least $15-20.
Impressive but alot of it is footage I already have.......2006-12-10
I like the fact that WWE has some form of competition. History has shown that WWE gets hot whenever VKM has competition. To see where the company has come from such humble beginnings is great. I again just like good wrestling and I think it is bogus to say one company is better then the other. However that being said alot of the footage is already on other TNA Wrestling DVD's. I have most of them. For that reason I give it Three stars. If you do not know if you would like TNA Wrestling. This disk will give you a good flavor of it.

This Is Great!.......2006-12-07
Plain and simple this DVD is worth more than 10 bucks. These matches are all from the past year and a half and should have been on this DVD. They showcased 2 versions of the most original & innovative match in the past copule of years...the Ultimate X match, which was a big plus, and showed some great athleticism which was an even bigger plus. The best thing about this DVD is a informative interview with Jerry Lynn about his career.
TNA really scored a touchdown on this DVD, I hope Volume 2 is just as good, but with most of the DVD featuring matches from Impact I highly guarentee it. If this truly is the best of this division, then this is one amazing division.
This is Awful!.......2006-11-18
Plain and simple this DVD is not worth more than 10 bucks. These matches are all from the past year and a half and should not all have been on this DVD. They had nothing from the Tennessee Era, which was a big disappointment, and was an even bigger mistake. The best thing about this DVD is a pretty lame interview with Jerry Lynn, it might have been boring but at least it was something you never seen before.
The 2 bonus matches are terrible and they don't even edit out the commercials from the broadcast, how freaking low budget is that?
TNA really dropped the ball on this DVD, I hope Volume 2 is much better, but with most of the DVD featuring matches from Impact I highly doubt it. If this truly is the best of this division, then this is one sorry division.

WWE Cruiserweights SUCK! ECW Comparison!.......2006-06-25
Let's face it TNA Wrestling has strive for your attention by giving you the best althletic and exciting wrestlers outside the WWE Wrestling box.
TNA's X Division is AWESOME and one of a kind. You having witness anything until you have seen an Ultimate X Match (which is included on this DVD). Hell in a Cell? What is that compared to an Ultimate X match?
The WWE tries and tries again by giving you their cruiserwights as reinvented. WWE Cruiserweight action exclusively on WWE Smackdown...where we push The Great Khali (yes! the actor on the Adam Sandler DVD, The Longest Yard, under special features viewed as a gentle giant but now in the WWE he's vicious...no really he is. Why didn't you want him before the movie came out). Come on WWE it didn't work with "Tiny" Lister (aka Zeus) in 1989 why would you do it know? Oh and we push Fit Finlay, wait a minute don't get me wrong Finlay is a great wrestler but wasn't he a road agent one year ago? Wait let's push Mark Henry I mean we've only been trying since 1996! This is the Smackdown brand...are you kidding me? We should rename it WWE Letdown!
TNA's X Division is only one piece of the puzzle to TNA Wrestling more dominate product. TNA is a dominate product it's a better style and entertaining program than WWE. TNA wrestlers actual wrestle! WWE Cruiserweight competition fails because the WWE signs guys like Kid Kash, Jimmy Yang and Tajiri and then don't let them wrestle in the style that got them noticed in the first place.
TNA X Division wrestlers wrestle a very active high flying match and I see them return week after week. WWE is afraid their cruiserweights will over do it and injure themselves all the time. Well then why call them high flyers? Call them Gravity Grounded Underweights!
TNA X Division wrestlers are aware of the risk and do get injured but they seem to differ from WWE brainwashed cruiserweights as they don't forget what the fans what to see out of them. Highflying dare devil moves that drop your jaw in AH! This DVD will prove to you that organized independent high flyers deserve to a national showcase and demand your respect night in and night out. If you liked the No Holds Barred, bust my but wrestlers of what ECW use to be. Then you will love the TNA Best of the X Division DVD. I hate to compare them to anyone because they are not the second coming of anyone but the first coming of something original.
And speaking of the "New" ECW product...WWE your messing up already it takes more than Kelly stripping at every show (pathetic attempt to attract viewers mind you), more the Sandman just welding his cane at everybody & anybody and more than Sabu's return. Why did you go Sabu? TNA was a perfect fit for you. Now your stuck in a 3 year contract in a WWE product that will fail worse than any World Bodybuilding Federation or Xtreme Football League product ever will. It's only a matter of time when ECW fans relize that the goosebumps aren't there any more and the only true way to relive it is to watch old ECW shows. The new ECW product is decent at best but not good. ECW was about the innovation of violence and bloodshed. Now when I see ECW wrestlers bloody I think about how WWE cringe because they think I hate the bloodshed but I have to give the fans what they want. It's not the SAME! and NEVER will be. You can't replace Bam Bam Bigelow with Big Show, Taz with Tazz, Shane Douglas with Kurt Angle (although Angle is a great wrestler), Justin Credible without the Impact Players posse.
The WWE should have signed new talent like Jimmy Yang, the Spanish Announce Team (Jose & Joel Maximo), Bryan Danielson and Chad Collyer. Thrown contracted wrestlers in Paul London, CM Punk, Gregory Helms and Kurt Angle. Left Sabu where he was (in TNA mind you), Kid Kash where he was on Smackdown and the rest left in retirement or doing independent house shows. Keep Paul Heyman as the mastermind, Tommy Dreamer booking not wrestling, Tazz away from ringside...Joey Styles is a lone commentator he needs no partner! This would have an ECW feeling. Wrestlers who bust their buts because they want you to watch. You could've of had this and let guys like Balls Mahoney, Terry Funk and Stevie Richards making special cameos. Then if the fan support was there keep them on. ECW was about creating superstars not stablished ones and NOT about trying to relive old memories. The product was not about who's on the roster put what the roster was all about. Guys earning your respect! I hope your reading Vince and Paul because you messed up already!
Anyway Buy the TNA Best of the X Division Vol. 1 because its very cool, exciting and at the least original wrestling!
TNA Wrestling,so far so good(sorry no DVD rev.).......2006-06-08
TNA is the 2nd most popular Sports Entertainment brand in North America after the WWE(my other faverite wrestling brand),TNA is starting to become really popular and successful,you can already see that they have a comfortable spot in Spike TV,they have also started touring,rather than sticking in Orlando,Florida all the time.The thing I have to say improve about is the championship titles,there is only three-NWA World Heavy Weight title,X-Division title and NWA Tag Team title.They could do with one or two more,They should also make the titles not as "easy" to win,they should all be in months long feuds before the challenger wins it,or the champion defends it,also the challenger should not get his title shot randomly as it so seems,there has to be some sort of tournament or No.1 Contender feuds,that way the titles matches will be much more hyped and exiting to watch.Don`t you agree?
I hope that as TNA progresses,that it will recieve exiting storylines which envolve title feuds,also yes I am aware of its "More action,less talk" style,but I do wish there were some trashtalkers to spice up rivalries,Not the way WWE do them,like John Cena or The Rock exactly,but more of like,underestimating rivals or bragging about ones self.
So in the end,TNA is great and is still growing but they should start improving on things like storylines and so forth so on.
At the moment if i were to rate TNA out of ten,it would be:some where Between 8/10 and 9/10.
As for WWE,i rate it 9/10,if this was 4 months ago I would have rated WWE,7/10 as it sucked,but i am hyped about the new ECW brand(I watched a ECW DVD,Blood Sport and it was darn good!,thats why i like ECW,but i never had a chance to watch it while it was an independant brand,as i have only been interested in wrestling since December 2001.Hopefully WWE will make good use of its new ECW brand extension,and try to hire some more ex.ECW stars,so far they have got Terry Funk,Sabu,Axl.Rotten,RVD,Kurt Angle and the Sandman(one of my fave wrestlers,with his ciggie in his mouth,kendo stick at hand and beer cans in his jean pockets,he`s definately ready to hear wood snap against someones head! :)
anyways goodbye.

Customer Reviews:
TNA LOCKDOWN 2006 is a 4 STAR DVD.......2007-07-26
80-76%-perfect
75-71%-awsome
70-66%-good
65-61%-poor
60-56%-awful
1. Team USA Sonjay Dutt, Alex Shelly, Jay Lethal vs. Team Japan Minoru Tanaka, Black Tiger, Hirooki Gota- This was an awesome way to kick off the show. It seems like Japan and TNA get along really well and all the people from Japan have tons of talent and they showed it here. This was basically and X-Division tag match with all types of fast pace action. SO many nice moves and great tag team work. Great match to kick off the show. Winners Team Japan Minoru Tanaka, Black Tiger, Hirooki Gota. Match Rating 8.5/10.
2. The Fallen Angel Christopher Daniels vs. Senshi- This was a match with a surprise opponent for Daniels and it was one of his former partners Senshi in the tag team XXX. This was not a bad match but it was not a 4 or 5 star match that we can see from time to time with Daniels. There were some nice high flying moves but also some very nice wrestling. Winner Senshi. Match Rating 7/10.
3. Konnan vs. Bullet Bob Armstrong in a Arm Wrestling Match- Well this was an absolute horrible match. This was not evn a match as much as it was a segment but it did waste a lot of time almost 12 minutes total. You can skip this not even worth a look. Winner Bullet Bob Armstrong. Match Rating 1/10.
4. Chris Sabin vs. Petey Williams vs. Elix Skipper vs. Chase Stevens vs. Shark Boy vs. Puma in a XSCAPE Match- Now this was an interesting match. What you have to do first is eleminate your oppenent by pin or submission and than the last two have to try and escape. This was a very solid X-Division match. There was a lot of good high flying action and quick pace action. There was a nice move were shark boy hit a leg sweep off the top rope. The move of the match was Chase Stevens went to the top of the Six Sides of Steel and hit a Shooting Star press on all 5 men in the match. Just a awesome spot in the match. Great action and you will enjoy this one. Winner Chris Sabin. Match Rating 8/10.
5. The Samoan Submission Machine Samoa Joe vs. Sabu for the X-Division Title- I will admit going into this match when I bought this dvd I was so excited but this one let me down a little bit. This was not a bad match at all but way below what I expected. This was to short for me and if give more time could have been a awesome match. This was a bloody match with Sabu busted open bad some nice chair action. Not a bad match. Winner and still X-Division Champ Samoa Joe. Match Rating 6.5/10.
6. Team 3D vs. Team Canada in a Anthem Match- This was almost like a flag match and when you got your teams flag and put it in the others thing you will win the match. This was nit a bad match with a preatty good feud going into the match. The return of Spike Dudley was in this match and he even looked good. There was a nice table spot in this match and some nice chair action. Not a bad match. Winner Team 3D. Match Rating 7/10.
7. Christian Cage vs. Abyss with James Mitchell for the NWA World Heavywieght Title- This was my match of the night and this was just an awesome match. These two had a good feud going into this match and it helped this a lot. Both these guys brought there A game today and all the action started outside the ring. It was finnaly brought inside the ring with Abyss controlling most of it. Christian hit an Unpritter but Abyss kicked out. He went to the top of the Six Sides of Steel and hit a frog splash but Abyss kicked out of that to. There were so many more near falls and tons of tumbtacks and hardcore action in this match. Winner and still NWA Champ Christian Cage. Match Rating 10/10.
8. Sting, The Phenomenal AJ Styles, The War Machine Rhino and Ron The Truth Killings vs. King of the Mountain Jeff Jarrett, Big Poppa Pump Scott Stiner and Americas Most Wanted in a Lethal Lockdown Match- Well here we go again this was yet another great match. The had AJ and Chirs Harris start off the match and that was two great choices. There was just some real good wrestling and once the cage came down there was tons of hardcore action. There was one of the sickest spots I have ever seen when AJ and James Storm went to the top of the Six Sides of Steel and AJ set up a ladder and jumped up held on to a steel part of the structure and hit a splash form the top of that sent James Storm through a table. Great match. Winners Sting, The Phenomenal AJ Styles, The War Machine Rhino and Ron The Truth Killings. Match Rating 9/10.
Well that raps up another. I would give TNA Lockdown 2006 a grade of 57/80 which is a 71% which means this is a awesome ppv. Look at this form a wrestling side it is a perfect ppv cause you take out the arm Wrestling Match. You have to pick this dvd up one of my all time favorites. If you can tell me if my review was helpful or not I would appreciate that. Thanks for your time.
If you liked WCW WarGames at its best you'll like this.......2006-11-24
It reminded me of when the Horsemen would take on various opponents. AJ Styles does an insane move off the top of the Impact Zone. The match felt like the old WCW WarGames ppv when they where good. Senshi(Low KI) verses Christopher Daniels was good also. I wish the Team 3D and Team Canada match could have been better. The match was not a bad match by any means. I wish it were better. I thought the lame part of the PPV was having Bullet Bob Armstrong beat Konnan. I thought it pretty much buried LAX. Good PPV.
TNA- Vince McMahon's worst nightmare.......2006-11-10
This is one of TNA's best ppv's of the year. Every match is contested inside the six sides of steel. I highly recommend this dvd and any other of TNA's ppv's for anyone whon is a fan of high flying, high-impact, intense wrestling. This is better than anything WWE has to offer.
The Return Of The Cage.......2006-09-17
For the second time in TNA, Lockdown returned with it's "ALL MATCH IN A STEEL CAGE" concept that worked very well last year's PPV. And the X division matches matches themselves showcased various wrestling styles that would rarely see used in the United States which is an added bonus.
Team Japan (Minoru Tanaka, Black Tiger [no, not Eddie Guerrero but another one], Hirooki Goto vs. Team USA (Sonjay Dutt, Alex Shelley, Jay Lethal)
This was one of two matches that TNA flew in competitors from other international promotions to set up their World X Cup series that would happen leading into the Scarifice PPV. This match was really fased pased & you would heavily value it if you apprechate the japanese style of wrestling. 9 times out of 10, the X divsion never fails to give you a good match.
Christopher Daniels vs. Senshi:
I guess Daniels has a Lockdown curse because for the second year in a row, he faces one of his former partners from the tag team of Triple X. Last year was Primetime, this year as the wrestler formerly known as Low-Ki...one of the original pioneers of the X division. We all know what Christopher Daniels is made of & Senshi's style is similar to Tajiri's style (since both trained in Japan) so this was a real clash of styles but again, it's a nice wrestling match.
Arm Wrestling Contest - Konnan vs. "Bullet" Bob Armstrong:
Time for the wrestlecrap moment of the night but thankfully, they kept this one short. Bob wins the arm wrestling contest & that results in him & the James Gang getting to whip LAX with straps 10 times, it's funny in the beginning but the crowd starts to turn on it so they finish it quickly. It's funny at first but the jokes wears out quick. If you aren't normally entertained by the James Gang, press the skip buttom quick.
Xscape Match - Cris Sabin vs. Elix Skipper vs. Petey Williams vs. Shark Boy vs. Chase Stevens vs. Puma:
Same rules as the year before, it's an elimation match until the last two and then the first man out the cage wins. There were some great & highly impressive moments here (like Chase Stevens shooting star press from the top of the cage) with a funny ending but overall, I enjoyed last years better.
X Division Championship Match - Samoa Joe [Champion] vs. Sabu:
This match showed how much of a professional Sabu is. He already signed his WWE contract & was going into the match with a series of injuries (including broken bones) but yet still gave the best performance possible & put over Samoa Joe. It's because of Sabu's injuries that the match was kept short but it was still good concidering the circumstances...and unlike John Cena, Sabu didn't tap out to the Samoan Submission Machine.
Anthem Match - Team 3D vs. Team Canada
This was a glorified flag match and it was an alright match but really nothing special to write about. And don't worry, a majority of the Anthem signing happened when they were showing the video package for the next match.
NWA World Championship Match - Christain Cage [Champion] vs. Abyss:
This was a brutal match very similiar to the match last year Abyss had with Styles but Christian dished out the punishment as much as he took it. This wasn't the typical Abyss match with the thumbtack spots so that made this even more special. Again, just another great match.
Lethal Lockdown Match - Jeff Jarret, Scott Steiner, and America's Most Wanted vs. Sting, AJ Styles, Ron "The Truth" Killings, and Rhino:
This match was set under the old school War Games rules and honestly, was tons better than the Lockdown match they did last year. Team Jarrett always had the one man advantage (notice how in War Games history, the good guy team NEVER won the backstage coin toss?) The typical formula of the faces fighting from behind against the heels but once Sting enters, the top of the cage lowers & that's where the match gets interesting as AJ Styles & James Storm go to the top & AJ hits a splash from the celing of the room through Storm & a table.
This was a very unique match, one of the best of the night. First Chris Harris and Aj Styles would start the match, then every two minutes either a member of Jarret's or Sting's army would enter to help their team. When the final member entered, the roof of the cage would lower, along with a cache of weapons hanging from it. Sting ends up winning for his team in the end...it was a nice match for what it was but it didn't top the earlier performances in the night.
Bottom line, if your a fan of TNA...this is one DVD you wouldn't want to skip & if your just getting into TNA, this is a DVD showcases TNA better than Final Resolution (both years), Destination X & Against All Odds 2005 PPV releases did.
a really good pay per view from tna.......2006-08-10
im not going to say who is better tna or wwe cause i like both the reason i like tna even more now is cause of sting im glad they brought him back and im glad hes in tna cause in wwe they probably would of just wasted him and as far as lockdwn 2006 goes the matches that i thought were good were the world x cup preview match which had some good high flying moves from both teams and the fallen angel christopher daniels against his former partner senshi formly known as low ki and the xscape match another good match the anthem match was good too and the x division championship match was ok it was too short i would have liked to seen more action between sabu and samoa joe but it was still good and the two main events were the best matches of the whole night christian cage against abyss fantastic match and the lethal lockdown match another fantastic match to end a really good pay per view and im really glad sting is back and one more thing its show time folks

Almost the perfect ppv.......2007-07-06
This ppv was my introduction to TNA over a year ago. Since then I have seen and purchased almost every ppv I can find since surrender of 04. So I've seen most up to date. I've watched this ppv 5x and its one of my favorites despite the many flaws concerning the endings. In fact, this is one of the very few ppv's I can watch completely through. TNA focuses on the positives and hides the negatives. The positives to me are the Tag Team and X divisons. The negatives is lack of storylines, backstage antics, and heavyweights. But I can live without most of those. So on to the review.
Who would think that pre show matches would be on the same level as the ppv matches? Well, I sure didn't. These first 2 preshow matches have to be talked about because they are pretty good.
Preshow Matches;
Team Cananda vs. Lance Hoyt, Jay Lethal, and Kenny King
This was a six man tag match that would have made a great opener. Lots of frequent tags. Double team moves and some sick power moves. The Canadian Destroyer is one move I can never get tired of. And the way it was executed I thought Petey Williams killed that dude. Great match 4.5/5
LAX vs. The Naturals
A pretty good match. This is after Konnan turned heel and broke away from 4LK. A decent match but could have been a lot better. That shot with the club from Konnan to steal the match was funny as he11. 3/5
Now its time for the ppv card.
Since tag teams is part of TNA's bread and butter then I would guess thats the best way to start it.
Alex Shelley, Austin Aries, and Roderick Strong vs. Matt Bentley, Chris Sabin, and Sonjay Dutt
A great opener. These guys got the crowd jumping and jump started the ppv. You will see so many innovative double and triple teams in this match, that you will possibly think this was the best tag team match you ever seen. Those drop kicks Sabin deliver to hung up opponents is just sick. This is a match I can watch over and over again. And it also has a good ending. 5/5
The James Gang vs. The Diamonds in the Rough
This match kind of takes away the drive you feel after the last match. At least it did for me. I'm not a fan of the new age outlaws in any form. Even though the match did have its moments with a good finish. I'm just not too crazy about BG James(Road Dogg) antics in the ring. A certain move he does is just nasty. Also I rather see Prime Time partnered up with Christopher Daniels. Not the best match but just alright. 3/5
International X Showcase Match
Tanahashi vs. AJ Styles
AJ's matches are almost always a sight to see. Then when he's partnered up with someone who can match that work ethic. Those matches can become instant classics. This was a very good match with lots of near falls and a variety of different moves. This match would have been perfect if not for the jip ending. I really didn't like the booking, it so took away from this match due to Shannon Moore's unnecessary interference. 3.5/5
Raven vs. Sean Waltman(X-Pac)
This continued Raven's feud with Larry Z pulling out last minute opponents to end Raven's career. This was a hardcore match that included the weapons you will always see in a Raven match. Lots of violence and brawling. The fight went outside the ring, up the ramp, and off the ramp. At some point the ref was knocked out and Larry Z took over the ref's job. This added a little bit more suspense to the match. But once again, another BS ending to a pretty decent match. 3.5/5
Ron Killings vs. Bobby Roode
This was a feud that spilled over to ppv because Ron Killings beat Roode on impact twice in the same match in seconds. Then lost it due to interfernce. Such a shame because interference played a factor here as well. A pretty good match that suffered from a weird ending as well. After the match BG James goes after Konnan and he's jumped by LAX then Kip makes the predictable save. 3/5
Rhyno vs. Abyss
A very good fight that saw the use of chairs and chains to great effect. Rhyno and Abyss are a perfect fit for each other. This is definitly one of the better matches on the card. They would go on, 1 month later to have an even better match that completely blankets this one. This is Abyss and Rhyno at their best. 4.5/5
Tag Team Championship
AMW vs. Team 3D
These two teams blend so well together. An excellent match that contained lots of near falls. High impact moves and double teams. This match could have been perfect. But the same problem. Another jip ending that just came off retarded. All of that build up, to the ultimate finale just to see it end like that. Still the match itself was very entertaining. 3.5/5
X Division Championship Match
Samoa Joe vs. Christopher Daniels
Lots of build up for this match. Daniels was set for revenge because of the way Joe brutalized him earlier. Even though the fans knew waht happened, they were still split. Which I thought I was cool. The match started out fierce and pretty equal. Then just became onesided much later and shifted to just plain brutal. Samoa Joe pulled no punches and was merciless once he gained the upper hand. The ending was bad for some. But I thought it played out very well. This is my favorite match on the card, and I feel it was the best. Match of the night for me. 5/5
The Return Of An Icon
Sting and Christian vs. Jeff Jarrett and Monty Brown
This was Stings return to TNA after like a 4 year absence. It seemed like to me he never left. I didn't detect any ring rust. The match was ok, but it began to focus on Jarrett selling his fear of Christian making the tag and Sting gettin his hands on Jarrett. This tag match paled in comparison to almost every single tag match before it. Weapons were involved and it had some good wrestling. The only problem I really have is the way Sting puts on the sharpshooter. It just doesn't look painful or believeable at all. Well TNA gave the fans what they wanted. And that was a victory over Jarrett. 3.5/5
This was a pretty good ppv only overshadowed by the cheap endings. Most of the matches are very good and they focus on the wrestling. I see this being sold for very cheap. If you want to see good wrestling, then check this out.
Return of Sting and some good matches.......2006-11-24
The main event is worth the money for this disk. THe match was good but the crowd was really into it. Team 3D vs. AMV was a great match until the end. I thought it was quite frankly stupid. It made no sense to me. There are better ways to get Team Canada to fued with Team 3D. Rest of the card was good. Could have been better.
not a bad ppv.......2006-05-31
this wasn't a great ppv or a bad one either. stings return to wrestling might help tna's ratings, but in this wrestlings fan mind how long does he stay around before he decides to leave again to sepnd time with his family full time. As for the fans chanting that he still has it, i won't believe it until he wrestles a few singles matches against better talent like aj styles, christopher daniels and samoa joe.
STING IN TNA!!!!!.......2006-05-28
TNA's January 2006 PPV Final Resolution is showcased by the wrestling return of the Icon, the man called Sting. Final Resolution 2006 is a pretty good PPV. Some quality matches, some not so good matches. That's the formula for a lot of PPV's. I won't go into every match on the card, but some of the better matches are AJ Styles vs. Tanahashi, Samoa Joe vs. Christopher Daniels and of course Sting/Christian Cage vs. Jeff Jarrett/Monty Brown.
Overall, a decent PPV with a great main event. Sting's return to wrestling is awesome. This is the top match on the PPV. I literally could not wait to see Sting come down that rampway and it was eveything I thought it was going to be and more. Sting did not look that bad either for his age and time away from the ring. As the crowd chanted to Sting "YOU STILL GOT IT" and I would have to agree. Sting didn't have any ring rust.
I highly recommend this PPV for any TNA fan and especially if you are a Sting fan. I've followed TNA Wrestling since they debuted in Nashville, TN in 2002. I'm happy they were to sign such an icon as Sting. I only rated this PPV 4 stars because the overall card could of been better. Seeing Sting back in professional wrestling alone is well worth the $15. Keep up the good work TNA.
A loyal fan
TNA slowly becoming WCW.......2006-05-21
Sting? Big Poppa Pump? Jeff Jarrett? Even brought Lex Luger and Buff Bagwell in for an appearence. I can only imagine Booker T jumping ship soon. X-division says the league who refuses to tour the states. I went to see them in Florida and it was alright. They really try hard to get the crowd pumped up for the show. Yea they wrestle more then WWE but they need story lines. TNA the future? Maybe if you want the wrestling future to be anther WCW.
Customer Reviews:
One of there better shows.......2007-09-01
Raven VS PJ Polaco: The match was alright. The more I watched TNA PPVS of 2005, the more I like Raven.
Team Canada vs. 3LK: I could really careless for either team.
Jeff Hardy vs. Monty Brown: Both Hardy and Brown's TNA careers didnt pan out to well. An alright match but didnt get me to excited.
Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe, Alex Shelley, and Roderick Strong vs. Chris Sabin, Sonjay Dutt, Matt Bently, and Austin Aries: Match of the night. Action was nonstop but towards the ends the pins came fast and weighed down the match a bit. Probably a poke at WWE considering this was November and it was an elimination match. Survivor Series for fans who didnt get it.
Sabu vs. Abyss: Match was alright. They really didnt show off any moves I havent seen either do in there careers. The ending of the match was brutal.
AJ Styles vs. Petey Williams: Never seen these two have a bad match and its not going start here.
Team 3-D and Rhino vs. Jeff Jarrett and AMW: The match wasnt anything speical. The camera crew had a tough time trying to catch all the action going on. Rhino's underwear hangs out during most of the match. A few spots that could have been really cool but they stopped them from doing so. Christian then comes in and joins the babyfaces.
Chrisitan also made his first TNA apperance on this show. Of course to get over with fans he had to say WWE was stale and boring. I like Christian but if he couldnt do an interview, he wouldnt be where he is today.
A good card overall, with the X-divison once again taking center stage. Its neat how 2005 started off like WCW with Hall, Nash, Jarrett, DDP, among others trying to revive there careers. By the end of 2005, DDP and Hall would be gone. Samoa Joe, Team 3-D, Christian and a slew of other wrestlers would enter TNA.
Great PPV, just maybe a couple of duds...........2007-03-09
The preshow for TNA's Genesis starts up, with Shane Douglas and Jeremy Borash running down the card and hyping the major star coming to TNA at Genesis.
-Shark Boy vs. Nigel McGuinness: Decent opening match, quick one though. Nigel mocks Shark Boy after hitting some nice moves and starts working on his arm. Nice headstand into a back kick by Nigel and a hammerlock into a DDT on Shark Boy. Then Shark Boy fights back, with punches and a bulldog from the second rope. Nice suplex from the top by Nigel. The finish comes when Shark Boy gets a roll up on Nigel for the win in about 6 minutes. 6/10.
-Team Canada segment hyping the six sided hockey stick and the X-Division Championship matches on the PPV tonight.
-Diamonds in the Rough vs. The Naturals & Lance Hoyt: Not a bad one here, Elix Skipper starts out taking down Hoyt with punches and a nice back kick. Hoyt comes back with a one armed overhead slam and punches in the corner. Nice flip by Andy Douglas onto David Young and Skipper over the top rope on the outside, followed by a splash over the ropes by Hoyt.
The Diamonds take over, with Skipper exploiting Chase Stevens injured head. Hoyt gets the tag, hits a nice dropkick then a double chokeslam on Young and Skipper. The finish comes when Skipper and Young hit a double face buster on Stevens for the win in about 6 minutes. 6/10.
-The PPV starts with a tribute to Eddie Guerrero who passed away early that day.
-Now a great video package hyping the main events of Genesis.
-Live in the Impact Zone, there are some Eddie chants then we start with our first match.
-Raven vs. PJ Polaco: The former Justin Credible puts on an okay show here, it's a decent match just not very good. Polaco uses some submission holds and knees to the back. Raven gets a break when Cassidy Riley comes in and takes a cane shot to the head. Raven comes back hitting a couple of clotheslines then an ankle lock. Polaco fights out of it and hits a bad looking DDT. The finish comes when Raven hits the Raven Effect DDT for the win in about 6 minutes. 5/10.
-Six Sided Hockey Stick Match: 3 Live Kru vs. Team Canada w/ Special Referee Kip James: Nice Eddie tribute by Konnan before the match, followed by Eddie chants from the crowd. The idea is you must be the legal man to grab a hockey stick and use it. The match isn't really that good, though the stuff with Kip James and Eric Young was funny. Nice move by Konnan throwing his sneaker at Young's chest, looked like it hurt. All six men keep trying to go for the hockey sticks, but are stopped from using them. The match breaks down as all six men brawl and the finish comes when Konnan and B.G. hold a hockey stick over the stomach and other areas of Young as The Truth hits a leg drop off the top rope for the win. 5/10.
-Next a nice promo by James Mitchell telling Sabu what will happen to him when he gets in the ring with Abyss, cool segment.
-Next the debut of Christian Cage: Huge, I mean huge pop from the crowd. Great promo by Cage as he runs down WWE, but mostly praises TNA. Coach D'Amore of Team Canada comes down with Bobby Roode and tries to get Cage to join them, he even hands Cage a Team Canada t-shirt. Cage says it looks like the right size, but he'll need some time to see if it's the right fit. 10/10 for the segment.
-Contender's Match: Monty Brown vs. Jeff Hardy: Great promo before the match by Brown, pretty funny. The match itself is not that bad, but not that good. Hardy's mocking of Brown was funny, early on in the match. Brown uses plenty of power moves and Hardy uses his high flying moves to try and win. Hardy tight rope walks part of the Impact Zone and hits a clothesline on Brown. Brown takes over for a bit, but Hardy fights back and hits a Twist of Fate and goes for the Swanton, but misses. The finish comes when Brown hits the Pounce for the win in about 9 minutes. 6/10.
-Elimination X: Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe, Alex Shelley & Roderick Strong vs. Chris Sabin, Sonjay Dutt, Austin Aries & Matt Bentley: Done WWE "Survivor Series" style, once your pinned or submit your eliminated and the match goes until all four members of one team is eliminated. The match is great, plenty of high flying moves by everyone, except Shelley who uses nice submission moves and Joe who hits plenty of power moves. I love the trio of moves by Joe, an inverted atomic drop, a diving front kick and a senton splash. Loved the triple dives by Aries, Dutt and Sabin onto the outside. No one is eliminated until about 12 minutes into the match, when Aries hits a 450 splash off the top onto Strong for the pin, then Aries is rolled up by Daniels about 25 seconds after that. Dutt hits a nice arm drag on on Shelley while also hitting a hurricarana on Daniels from the top rope. Shelly then gets Dutt in a crossface hold and Dutt taps out. Soon after Bentley hits a superkick on Shelley for the pin. Great tower of doom, with Joe hitting a powerbomb while Sabin and Sabin superplex Daniels. Bentley gets up on Daniels shoulders, then Joe slaps him and hits the Musclebuster and Kokina Clutch on Bentley for the tap out. Sabin is the only one left, but he makes the most of it and almost eliminates both Daniels and Joe on several occasions. Joe has Sabin in the Musclebuster, but Bentley pulls Joe to the outside, then Daniels hits the Angels Wings for the pin in about 23 minutes. 11/10. Great postmatch stuff with Joe brutally beating Daniels and busting him open, with a chair and a facewash kick into the steel guard rail. Then he hits a Musclebuster on Daniels, Joe then grabs a chair and hits another Musclebuster on the chair. AJ even comes out after this to see if Daniels is okay, which leads to a match at the following PPV, Turning Point.
-No DQ Match: Sabu vs. Abyss: Sabu teases having barbwire on his arm to psych out Abyss. Good match actually, Sabu uses the chair a lot and hits some splashes on the outside onto Abyss, including a leg drop splash onto Abyss through a table. Abyss uses plenty of power moves and even appears to break Sabu's nose. Abyss has a bag of thumbtacks, while Sabu has a chair wrapped in barbwire, but James Mitchell stops Sabu from using the chair. Abyss chokeslams Sabu onto the pile of tacks, and a lot of tacks stick into his back. Abyss goes for the pin, but Sabu kicks out, then Abyss goes for a splash and lands right on the tacks. Sabu goes for the Camel Clutch but Abyss grabs the rope. The finish comes when Abyss hits the Black Hole Slam onto the barbwire chair for the win in about 10 minutes. 8/10.
-X-Division Championship: AJ Styles (Champion) vs. Petey Williams: Nice promo from AJ, talking about this match, but also what Joe did to Daniels earlier. This one was much, much better than their match at Victory Road the year before. Great moves by both men, great flip dive by AJ onto Williams on the outside, and AJ goes into the crowd over the guard rail as he does the dive. Williams hits a vicious german suplex on AJ on the outside slamming AJ into the guard rail. Williams starts working on AJ's back and chest, with kicks and submission moves. AJ comes back and hits the pele kick and a nice hurricarana. More back and forth moves by both men, then Williams lock on a Sharpshooter, but AJ gets to the ropes, then hits a springboard forearm shot on Williams. The finish comes when AJ hits the Styles Clash on Williams from the second rope as Joe looks on from the stage for the win in about 18 minutes. 10/10.
-Next a promo from Rhino and Team 3D, hyping the six man revenge main event up next. All three men do a nice tribute to Eddie Guerrero to end the segment.
-Six Man Revenge Match: Jeff Jarrett & America's Most Wanted vs. Rhino & Team 3D: Great brawl by all six men, very much like the old ECW and a lot closer than anything WWE has tried to do with WWECW. The match starts out in the crowd and stays there for a few minutes and there's plenty of hardcore action from all six men. Brother Devon brawls with Harris and Ray brawls with Storm. Rhino uses a garbage can on Jarrett and press slams him onto a chair. Jarrett does Irish Whip Rhino into a bunch of chairs. Rhino tries to gore Jarrett through a table set up at the entrance way, but Storm stops it. Devon busts open Harris and Ray busts open Storm using a cheese grater. The brawling continues and eventually the match gets back into the ring. The table comes into play, but AMW stops it from being used on several occasions. AMW and Jarrett do take over for a while. The finish comes when Team 3D hits the 3D on Storm for the win in about 15 minutes. 11/10. Post match has Jarrett, AMW and Team Canada attack all three men, until Cage comes down and looks like he's coming in for the save. But he takes off his jacket to reveal the Team Canada t-shirt, but he then hits the Unprettier on Coach D'AMore, then throws Jarrett off the top rope. Cage then hits a 3D on Jarrett through the table with both members of Team 3D lifting up Jarrett for Cage. Great finish for a great PPV.
The extras include numerous backstage footage of TNA stars before they make their ways to the ring. The best one though is after the PPV went off the air, when Cage, Rhino and Team 3D pay tribute to Eddie, bring a fan into the ring (I think Devon's daughter) and praise TNA. Cage finishes by saying he will become NWA champion. Great segment, 10/10.
One of the best PPV's I've seen in a long time despite the few dud matches.

First two matches were not so good, the rest of the PPV rocks.......2006-11-24
The Raven match was horrible. PJ looked like he did not care. It was sloppy and the timing was like Hogan vs. Warrior II in WCW. The hockey stick match could have been better. It was boring to watch. After these matches the PPV gets it stars. THe Christian Cage promo was from the heart. The X-Division Elimination match was great as always. Great Main event. I would buy the disk, just skip the above mentioned matches.
